This is the recipe I generally use for banana bread. Not noted in the recipe below: I often add a bag of chocolate chips to the mix.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas
Mise en place
Flour, baking soda, salt
Brown sugar, butter
Eggs, mashed bananas
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Beat brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a separate large bowl until smooth. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
